Why would you want to if Personal is already available.
With a "new" workbook" you would have to set up references
to it. Too much trouble, UNLESS you want to distribute the
macros to other computers.

If you don't want to store the macro in the personal.xls
or the workbook
where you perform the actions recorded, then you would use
the new workbook
option.

was having a discussion today with a couple of people
about the options
for
storing a macro when you record it - the personal macro
workbook & this
workbook made sense to us, but we were stumped for a
realistic example of
when you would store a macro in a "new workbook" ... has
anyone done this?
if so, what was the rationale behind this choice?

thanks
